Harrison Cone: A Rising Star
Cone is no stranger to TV audiences. The Colorado-born actor has appeared in a range of projects, including The Summer I Turned Pretty where he played Davis, Hacks, and American Horror Stories. He’s also had roles in shows like Superstore and Stage Fright, and starred in indie films such as I Wish You All the Best and The Spookies. This marks his first appearance in a daytime soap, and it’s clear he’s ready to bring a new level of excitement to The Bold and the Beautiful.
Before acting, Cone began his career modeling for big-name commercials, appearing in campaigns for Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, and Google. He made his film debut in the drama First Love at the age of 18. Over the years, he’s honed his craft in both television and film, but this role in The Bold and the Beautiful marks a significant shift for him as he steps into the world of soap operas.
Christian Weissmann: Breaking New Ground
Weissmann, who portrays Remy Pryce, has quickly become a fan favorite since joining The Bold and the Beautiful in 2024. He’s already making waves, especially with his recent Daytime Emmy nomination for Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series. Off-screen, Weissmann is not only an actor but also a talented writer, having published essays in the Los Angeles Times and HuffPost. His debut poetry book, Her Him & I, was released in 2024 by Simon & Schuster and explores themes of identity, love, and liberation.
Weissmann’s career began at a young age in Evanston, Illinois, where he developed his love for performing. After starting in local theater, he eventually made his way to Los Angeles, where he has since appeared in high-profile shows like Dear White People, American Housewife, and Saved by the Bell (the Peacock reboot). His role as Nate in Saved by the Bell further cemented his place in entertainment.
In addition to acting, Weissmann is known for his candid storytelling about his personal journey. He came out publicly through an essay in the Los Angeles Times, adding yet another layer of depth to his already multi-faceted career.
